Baked in Telluride – Making Dough in a Tough Economy

Peak Moment 151: Biting into a fresh-baked cookie from “Baked in Telluride” is a double treat — a yummy goody that also supports a local independent business. Owner Jerry Green has been going “green” for decades before it became fashionable, and is successfully facing the challenges of running an independent business in a tourist town while competing with bakeries thousands of miles away. While a town councilor, Jerry helped shape projects like affordable public housing and public transportation. The bakery burned to the ground on Feb. 10, 2010.
